What evil intentions could an evil god possibly have?

"Yes, I asked."

"Ok!"

Why should I send you glasses?

"No...no, please don't make me repeat a grade!"

Do you want me to throw you out?

"Of course not!"

Lin Mushi quickly grabbed a cushion, carefully making room for her, and changed her approach, saying, "Do you want to know why I made you ask that question?"

Gu Yuqiu didn't look at her and said, "Do you think I'm an idiot?"

Lin Mushi honestly shook her head, thinking to herself, "I wish you were like that. Maybe then I could have both wealth and happiness and never have to work hard in this life."

"In that case, you should understand what I mean: I have no interest in hearing what you have to say."

Gu Yuqiu felt much more comfortable sitting down, and her tone became gentler.

Lin Mushi grabbed her hand, widened her eyes, looked at her pitifully, and said coquettishly, "Just listen for a little while, it won't hurt you anyway."

Gu Yuqiu thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll make a bet with you."

Lin Mushi asked curiously, "How do you gamble?"

"It's very simple."

Gu Yuqiu said, "If the sentence I guessed is the sentence you were about to say, then you have lost, and vice versa."

Without hesitation, Lin Mushi asked, "What's the stake?"

Gu Yuqiu said calmly, "I'll help the other person with something, anything is fine."

This is a gift from God to believers.

Even if the gods do not believe that their followers possess such wisdom.

Lin Mushi frowned slightly and asked, "What if you cheat? No matter what I say, you'll say you thought of it yourself. Wouldn't I be doomed to lose?"

Gu Yuqiu glanced at her and said, "Am I the kind of liar who breaks his word and has no shame?"

Lin Mushi looked at her with a puzzled expression and asked in great surprise, "Aren't you that kind of person?"

Chapter 65: Could it be that the arrogant Gu Yuqiu...

"Lin Mushi, don't you think you've gone a bit too far?"

"is it?"

"You seem unconvinced?"

"Otherwise what? We're colleagues, not superiors and subordinates. If I were to address you with 'you, you, you', it would make us seem distant, wouldn't it?"

"Oh?"

Did I say something wrong?

Lin Mushi adjusted her posture, turned to look at Gu Yuqiu, her eyes full of smiles.

Gu Yuqiu suddenly asked, "The question is, when did we become close?"

Hearing this, Lin Mushi wasn't angry. Instead, she widened her eyes and looked at her in shock, saying, "You're not just being tsundere, are you?"

Although she couldn't recall exactly when she became acquainted with Gu Yuqiu after careful consideration, it didn't stop her from believing that she and Gu Yuqiu had a good relationship.

Gu Yuqiu looked at her quietly, without saying a word.

When you don't know what to say, it's better to remain silent and exert pressure with your gaze than to say something strange.

Lin Mushi never understood this principle, which made her seem exceptionally naive, cute, and silly. However, after she transmigrated to this world, she lost her naivety and naturally wouldn't make this mistake.

Why aren't you saying anything?

Lin Mushi blinked, suddenly snapping out of her daze, and asked tentatively, "You're not thinking of throwing me out, are you?"

Gu Yuqiu remained silent, but this clearly meant she acquiesced.

Lin Mushi panicked immediately, quickly straightened her posture, and put her face on serious.

She was clearly no match for Gu Yuqiu, and had even been taught a lesson this afternoon. How could she dare to continue talking nonsense when the other party seemed angry?

“Answer my question,” Gu Yuqiu said calmly.

The question, of course, is when the two became so familiar, even to the point where they are now, huddled together on a chair, feeling each other's warmth.

Lin Mushi wondered where to begin.

She coughed, cleared her throat, and said seriously, "I think... there shouldn't be any special occasions, but it's precisely because there aren't that I feel our relationship is real."

Gu Yuqiu raised an eyebrow slightly and asked, "Hmm?"

"Stop 'uh-huh'ing. We're already so close, why are you still going on and on about 'uh-huh'ing all the time? I don't have the energy to figure out what you mean."

Lin Mushi couldn't help but complain, then said, "The reason it feels real is because our relationship wasn't based on a specific event, like you saving my life. It wasn't because of the suspension bridge effect that our feelings for each other soared, and there's a clear timeline in between."

Gu Yuqiu said, "Does that mean feelings develop over time?"

Lin Mushi thought about it seriously for a moment, then shook her head and said, "It's definitely been a long time, but I'm not sure if feelings have developed. I just feel very comfortable being with you."

Gu Yuqiu thought that believers would naturally feel joy when they were with the gods, which was common sense.

Thinking about all this, she changed the subject and said, "But I saved you once."

The first day the two met was the night Mr. Zhuo attacked them. If it weren't for her, Lin Mushi would have been dead long ago.

"How can that be counted?"

Why doesn't it count?

"Because that time it was actually your fault. Afterwards, I thought about it carefully and sorted out Mr. Zhuo's thoughts. I think he was probably frightened by the speed at which you arrested people and thought there was a mole on his side. That's why he tried to bring you back by any means necessary. It wasn't to make you a saintess at all."

"My opinion is based on your last sentence."

"Isn't that your fault too? If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be in danger."

"Isn't your duty to protect me?"

"what?!"

"Ok?"

Gu Yuqiu looked at her, wondering what she was doing.

"Excuse me……"

Lin Mushi blushed, avoided looking directly at her, and said in a low voice, "I forgot."

Yes, she really forgot.

From the very beginning, when the two were paired together, her mission was to protect Gu Yuqiu and prevent any accidents from happening.

At first, she remembered the incident very clearly, but later so many things changed that she got used to standing behind Gu Yuqiu and becoming the one being protected.

So it's normal for her to forget, right?

This is truly an answer that leaves one speechless.

However, Gu Yuqiu was not angry; on the contrary, she was quite satisfied, though she didn't show it.

She feigned displeasure and said, "I remember someone saying they were very fierce."

"Hmm... well, I am pretty fierce."

Lin Mushi, suppressing her shyness, slightly raised her chest and mustered her courage to say, "You won't believe me, just look!"

Gu Yuqiu rolled her eyes at her, finding it all rather boring. She glanced at the time and realized it was getting late, so she got up from her chair and headed to the bathroom to wash up.

"Hey! What about that bet you wanted to make earlier? Does it still count?"

Lin Mushi watched her retreating figure and shouted loudly.

Gu Yuqiu didn't turn around and said, "You want to give me glasses because you think I'm blind."

Lin Mushi was stunned, her mouth slightly agape, thinking, "How did you actually guess correctly?"

The next second, her cheeks flushed again, and she was a little scared, wondering if her intentions would be misinterpreted as liking someone.

Then she heard a sentence.

"Don't forget the stakes."

Gu Yuqiu's voice came from the bathroom.

Lin Mushi let out a painful cry, as if she had broken down, and collapsed onto the soft chair, covering her face with her hands and making strange noises.

She still couldn't understand why she had agreed to the bet.

……

……

It was 11:30 p.m., when the night was deep and quiet.

Even the most bustling city that never sleeps will quiet down as midnight approaches, let alone Baima Lake, which is practically a suburb.

Under the auspices of the Special Affairs Bureau, coordination among the various departments has been completed, and thanks to time constraints, the process was ten minutes faster than expected.

The number of people involved in this operation was not large, and the scale of the operation was much smaller than that of the previous operation, but the level of personnel was no different.

Su Yan sat in a black sedan, gazing quietly at the deep night sky through the window, as if lost in thought.

In fact, she had already dived into that vast ocean, looking down upon the new Chu tonight with the status of a supreme being, and speculating on the changes that were about to happen.

Because of her identity, she had been trying to avoid such things, not wanting to cause misunderstandings with the Special Affairs Bureau, but tonight was different.

It wasn't that Crimson was particularly strong, but rather that she had made a bet with Gu Yuqiu: if she couldn't handle tonight's events properly, she would have to compensate someone.

Su Yan was very unwilling to do this, so now she could only pull herself together, suppress her fatigue, and handle the matter carefully to avoid any unexpected events.

—Although she didn’t think there would be any surprises tonight.

Just then, the car door was opened.

Gu Yuqiu sat down beside her and said with a smile, "Good evening."
